Different types of strikes

[Icewind]

Currently, the default melee weapon strike is one that aiming for the head.

Its good – coz sometimes you can smash his head and kill zombie from a single hit….

 

But, they not always fall down…

 

So my suggestion is – to have an option of aiming for the legs. Holding a SHIFT button for example and strike.  This way, your hit will 99% chance kick zombie to the ground, and you can finish him easily.

As a “downside”, this swing can be more dangerous to perform, than a normal strike to the head, because of the shorter weapon swing radius – coz you need to band a little bit to hit the legs.

 

Ohh, one more thing - if you don’t kill this zombie – with a 90% chance he will become a “crawler” coz his legs are broken now...

 

 

Another new strike suggestion is a “side push”

Currently, when I strike a zombie – he will step back or fall. I suggest a hit that pushes the zombie to the side and not backward.

 

What is it good for?

 

Several times I was in a situation, when zombies followed me to the roof of the building.

So, I want to be able to kick him down – pushing him from the roof to his death.

I am for this but i would rather have everything get a little bit farther. I would like cars and etc. I am all for this idea but it would not be on the top of my list. again just my opinion.
